There is no rear footage.

 

Carry on thanks for stopping by.

I think I told you last time to get a rear view camera.

A broken signal turned more dangerous than necessary in Oak Bay.

Oak Bay Police Const. Sheri Lucas happened to stop for coffee and note the red light flashing at Elgin Road and Oak Bay Avenue recently.

It wasn’t so much that the light was broken, it’s not normally a flashing red, but more that vehicles streamed through as though it were green.

“I was literally parked on the yellow curb feet from the light and they were still going through it,” Lucas said.

Officers issued 38 warnings in just under three hours spread out over the two days the light was down.

^That's because the traffic enforcement priorities are all wrong in this province.

A classic tale of Victoria drivers. One little change to one's driving routine and all of the sudden there's chaos.

Even as a three-way intersection (which should be what's happening there), traffic flow is so much better now. There isn't enough traffic from Elgin to justify a traffic light there, but a stop sign alone would make turning left onto Oak Bay a lengthy wait at times.

 

Ideally it should be a roundabout but there probably isn't room for one nor is one suitable for the Oak Bay demographic.

Until we have both sides of the story from both ends of the car, don't shoot us down for shooting you down based on half the story.  :)

An overhead angle from a UAV would also be good. Ideally HB would be tailed by one wherever he goes.

That would solve a lot of questions on here. Top of my list, how he gets to some of the places he does.

I thought of you today, HB.  On Blanshard today I slowed down a touch to allow not one but two vehicles move into the lane in front of me.  It was strangely satisfying to help someone else get to where they're going safely.

It's really kind of disgusting that someone who ACTUALLY asked people to critic him is now playing the "victim" when someone, well... critics him. Self imposed victim much?

I think your video shows you were being pissy with your speeding up when you where being passed. There was NO NEED for you to slam on your breaks regardless of what was behind you... You just needed to not speed up because YOU thought you needed to prove a point.

I really disappointed that no one has posted drone and/or satellite footage of the Subaru incident.  :badpc:
